GRILLED SPICY SAUSAGE WITH FLORIDA SWEET POTATOES AND PEPPERS WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- For the mustard vinaigrette: Add the vinegar, honey, mustard, hot sauce, garlic and lemon juice to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk constantly while slowly adding the vegetable oil. Whisk until fully combined. Taste the vinaigrette and season with salt and black pepper.
- For the sausage and peppers: Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and sweet potatoes and boil until they are almost cooked, but still raw in the center, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool them completely until ready to grill.
- Preheat a char-grill to medium-high heat
- Combine the potatoes, sausages, oil, grill seasoning and bell peppers in a large bowl. Toss carefully until well coated. Grill the sausages, peppers and potatoes until char marks have formed and everything is completely heated through, about 6 minutes.
- Remove and arrange on a platter. Drizzle with some of the mustard vinaigrette. Serve extra vinaigrette on the side.
- To serve, garnish with scallions, parsley and fresh herbs. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For grilling, it's best to use firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well and won't fall apart as easily on the grill.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you're using baby potatoes, you can leave them whole. Otherwise, cut the potatoes into 1-2 inch pieces.
- Parboil the potatoes: This will help them cook more quickly on the grill and prevent them from burning. To parboil the potatoes, place them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Season the potatoes: Before grilling, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before adding the potatoes. This will help prevent them from sticking to the grill.
- Grill the potatoes: Grill the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred. Be sure to flip the potatoes occasionally so that they cook evenly.
- Serve the potatoes: Grilled potatoes are delicious served on their own or as a side dish with grilled meats, fish, or vegetables.
